[adstringendum; video] Day 1 | ~ Awakening ~

[memoryshell]

[The video flickers on to show a hooded face.

(If you are Axel, Roxas, Naminé, or Riku, you will see a girl who looks like Kairi -- or like Naminé -- or even Sora: short black hair, round and almost boyish face, big blue eyes.)

Behind the hood is sky. The voice is soft, quiet, youthful -- and difficult to discern as masculine or feminine.]

Where am I

[dualwielded]

[Really...]

[video] 1/2

[ebbxandxflow]

[This.... huh. Who is this?

Its weird, but... he almost knows this girl. Well, more than her remarkable resemblance to Kairi, that is.]

[video] 2/2

[ebbxandxflow]

[And then, after hearing Roxas' reaction. After hearing and sensing the boy leave the house without a word to him, it clicks into place.

This is... that girl. The one Roxas can't remember. The one he can't remember.]

Xion, huh? You'll... be fine. That kid won't give up until you're down from there.

[video]

[memoryshell]

Riku. You're... [just like I remember. but then... why wouldn't you be?]

... [her expression softens, saddens] You don't really remember me, do you?

[video]

[ebbxandxflow]

... So you do know me.

[He just shifts a bit, frowning down at the PCD, ignoring the slight ache to his head at the sight of her. That appearance... it can't just be a coincidence. But he's not going to ask her, not yet. Not when he knows that the answer is somewhere in his memories.]

No... I don't. [He pauses] Who exactly are you?

[Video] Html fail... sorry.

[ignitive]

[You look familiar... you sound familiar, and he's just watched Roxas bolt from the same feed, but he can't place you. He taps at the screen once, then shakes his head.]

You know Roxas?

np~

[memoryshell]

[... Axel.]

... yeah.

[ignitive]

And by his reaction, obviously a friend.

So, how'd he meet you?

[memoryshell]

It's... It's really a long story. Riku and Roxas... They want to hear it. Maybe everyone should get together...?

Brainbreak ahoy! 1/?

[memory_fixer]

3/3 Done.

[memory_fixer]

Xion.

[memoryshell]

... Naminé? [Wait -- ] You- You remember me?

[video]

[waitingshore]

Oh no, how'd you end up there?

You look really familiar... how weird! I don't think I've met you before!

... in which Xion has a heart attack and the mun laughs.

[memoryshell]

[There is a very, very long pause before Xion responds.]

[Kairi.

That's Kairi?!

Her hair -- She's a lot different --

That's Kairi.

Kairi is talking to me.]

[Xion quickly pulls her hood up over her face out of reflex (hidehidehide).]

I -- I don't -- I don't know. I just... I just woke up here... [not going to address that other part. not not not]

poooooooor Xion; ngl I had a gigglefit at this comment too

[waitingshore]

[Asldkjal she's never gotten that reaction before! It's really surprising too! She peers curiously at the girl--peers, since that pesky hood is now up. Soooo time to try the same tone of voice you'd use on skittish people.] I just got here myself. Strange place, isn't it?

hahaha

[memoryshell]

[Good move, Kairi. Skittish? Peeeeeeeerfect word for Xion.]

... Yeah. [It's not every day you wake up from fading away... in a tree, she thinks, and if she was talking to comfortable company, she would've said it. But for now, she keeps the thought to herself.]
